Chapter 573
Lina Sweeney let out a hollow laugh. “Hehe…” That was the reason why people could not lie. If one told a lie, he or she would be caught easily.
Hadwin Stephenson once again turned his gaze to Grace.
“Hello. Sorry if this girl has given you trouble today. Are you
done? If you’re done, why don’t we have a meal together?”
“No, I have other things to do. Just eat with Lina,” said Grace.
She did not want to be the third wheel.
“I’ll take you home then,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“It’s all right. I can just take the subway in front of the cinema.
There won’t be any traffic jams,” Grace said as she bid farewell to Lina Sweeney.
After Grace left, Hadwin Stephenson folded his arms in front of his chest and stared at Lina Sweeney with a half-smile. “I think you should explain to me what happened today.”
Lina Sweeney said rather lamely, “Well, I was tired from
working overtime, so I came here to relax with Grace.”
“Is that so?” He grunted, making it clear that he did not
believe her explanation.
“Well, what brought you here?” She asked as she began to change the subject. Additionally, when the question escaped
her mouth, she realized that she was really confused. When
she saw him, he was walking with Brian.
“What do you think?” He looked at her disgruntledly.
If it had not been because of this woman, he would not have
thought about asking Brian for some posters and autographs
of Howell Webb after seeing him.
Of course, posters that showed the muscles of his upper body
were excluded.
Brian happened to be there for some business, and Howell
Webb had a roadshow there that day. Thus, he merely came
along.
Who would have thought that of all the people, he would see
the little liar there?
Nevertheless, looking at the rolls of paper in her hand that were clearly posters, Hadwin Stephenson only found it setting his teeth on edge.
It seemed like she could get what she wanted without his help. after all. Besides, it was unknown whether there were any
muscle-baring posters among the posters she had!
Lina Sweeney blinked her eyes. “You’re not here to get Howell Webb’s autograph and posters for me, are you?”
Exactly!
However, in the face of her blank stare, those words of
admission somehow became stuck in his throat.
In her heart, she thought of him only as a man bent on revenge and did not believe that he would treat her well.
“Of course not,” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice turned colder by a few degrees.
‘I knew it!’ thought Lina Sweeney. However, it was unknown
why there was a faint feeling of disappointment in her
heart. What was wrong with her? What was there for her
to be disappointed over? Hadwin Stephenson did not like her fangirling over celebrities. Did she expect Hadwin Stephenson’s help with that?
Lina Sweeney bit her lip and her stomach wailed untimely.
Hadwin Stephenson glanced at her. “Are you hungry?”
“Yes…” she said rather lamely. She had screamed her heart. out in the movie roadshow earlier, of course, she had burned.
herself out rather quickly.
